No density if a characteristic of matter. Density can vary with temperature and pressure, but a chunk of something twice the volume of another chunk of the same substance will weigh twice as much because the two chunks have the same density.

Is it true that the larger the sample of a mineral the greater its density?

No, the density of a mineral remains constant regardless of the size of the sample. Density is an intrinsic property of the mineral and is determined by its composition and structure. It is typically expressed in units of mass/volume, so a larger sample will have a proportionally greater mass and volume, resulting in the same density.


Why is density considered an intrinsic property of matter?

Matter has got mass. Matter occupy space. The formula of density is mass upon volume. So matter has got density. So matter has to have density. That is why density is considered as intrinsic property of the matter.


What measurement must you make to find the density of a sample of matter?

Two measurements are needed - you must find its mass and its volume. Density is mass divided by volume.


When a physical change occurs in a sample of matter which is the matter that does not change?

During a physical change, the chemical composition of the matter remains the same, while its physical properties, such as shape, size, or state, may change. The individual particles that make up the matter do not change in a physical change.


Why volume and mass are not charestic properties of matter?

Volume and mass are not characteristic properties of matter because they can change based on external conditions, such as temperature and pressure. Characteristic properties are those that remain constant and unique to a specific substance regardless of the amount or sample size, such as density or boiling point.

Is density a extensive property of a substance?

Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.


Who A droplet of pure mercury has a density of 13.6 gcm3. What is the density of a sample of pure mercury that is 10 times as large as the droplet?

The density of a substance is an intrinsic property that does not change with the size of the sample. Therefore, even if the sample of pure mercury is 10 times larger than the droplet, its density remains the same at 13.6 g/cm³.


What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?

it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.

Does the size of a sample change its density determination?

no


Does one ml have the same density of 15 liters?

Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.


Does change of sample size affect density?

Yes, changing the sample size can affect the density of a dataset, particularly in the context of probability density functions or histograms. A larger sample size generally provides a more accurate estimate of the underlying density because it captures more variability and detail in the data. Conversely, a smaller sample size may lead to a less reliable density estimate, potentially resulting in greater variability and less smoothness in the density representation. However, the true underlying density itself remains unchanged regardless of sample size.


What happens to the density of a gas sample collected in a balloon as the sample is heated?

As the gas sample in the balloon is heated, the gas molecules gain more kinetic energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and occupy a larger volume. This results in a decrease in density since the same amount of gas now occupies a larger space.


Why does the density of a substance not change with the sample size?

The density of a substance does not change with the sample size because density is an intrinsic property of the material, determined by its mass and volume. As you increase the sample size, both the mass and volume of the substance increase proportionally, resulting in no change in density. This relationship is described by the formula density = mass/volume, which remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance being measured.
